Nnamdi Kanu is a British-Nigerian political activist and the founder of IPOB, a movement advocating for the independence of Biafra from Nigeria.
Known for his passionate and controversial speeches, Kanu rose to prominence through Radio Biafra, where he voiced secessionist ideals.
His strong personality and unyielding stance made him a symbolic figure among Biafra supporters.
He was first arrested in 2015 and later released on bail, only to be re-arrested in 2021 under contentious circumstances.
Detained by the Nigerian government since then, his case continues to spark debates on human rights, nationalism, and regional marginalisation.
